Creating a executable file

This is a discussion on Creating a executable file within the C Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; Hi
I just wanted to know how to create a executable file of your program using visual studio....

F7 works in MSVC6, but not later unless you specifically tell the studio you want the MSVC6 keyboard scheme. Otherwise I believe it's Ctrl+Shift+B or something (I use MSVC6 scheme).
The executable file is the program itself, that you've built. Your code doesn't magically run from inside the IDE or anything - it's your exe that's running!
